I saw an angel with a broken wing br I saw an angel cry br I mended it with bits of string br And told her she could fly. br br I handed her my handkerchief br To wipe the tear away br And told her all was well again br I think I made her day. br br She thanked me with an angel's kiss br And like a butterfly br She closed her wings then opened them br And rose into the sky. br br Now she is back in heaven br And I'm here on the ground br And I think somehow that we got br Our roles the wrong way round.
